Button Wedding Ideas

Petit-Four Favors

1 of 1

Buttons top these petit-four favors, which are set on cupcake papers, then nestled into glassine-lined black and white boxes, their lids swapped. Double-sided tape secures the ends of aqua ribbon underneath calligraphed labels.

Tweed-Covered Boutonniere

1 of 1

Recalling the winning air of an award rosette, this little adornment flourishes even in the depths of winter. Use a kit (found at notions shops) to convert the fabric into covered buttons. To make, sew a smaller button on top of a larger one with embroidery floss. Glue to the head of a hat pin with jeweler's glue.

Pin-On Wreath

Pillow Talk

1 of 1

Mismatched pearl buttons, vintage and new, lend this ring pillow a homespun note. Simple to make from two pieces of felt and a bit of polyfill stuffing, its edges cut with scallop shears, it even incorporates a hint of "something blue."

Seating Cards

1 of 1

You might say these buttoned-up seating cards have a touch of clasp. The holders securely prop the cards thanks to stitched pairs of vintage mother-of-pearl buttons that act as removable clips. Use mismatched styles for a note of whimsy; keep things elegant with a simple palette of dove-gray card stock and pale-yellow ink.

Lollipop Favors

1 of 1

Continue the theme by showcasing store-bought candy that look like buttons -- ours are from Ju-C Suckers -- with a display made from a Styrofoam block wrapped in paper. Punch holes in paper before covering; once paper is in place, push lollipop sticks through holes.

Favor Boxes

1 of 1

A small strip of felt with a button and slit buttonhole (no hemming needed) adds a bit of dash to 2-inch-round wooden boxes.
